Flynn didn't sign Trump ethics pledge
Flynn didn't sign Trump ethics pledge: report
President Trump’s former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, did not sign an ethics pledge required of all administration appointees, The Daily Beast reported Wednesday.
The vow bars all federal appointees from lobbying their former colleagues for five years after leaving the administration and bans lobbying for a foreign government for life.
“Gen. Flynn never had the opportunity to sign Trump’s ethics pledge, but he plans to abide by its terms,” spokesman Price Floyd said of the retired Army lieutenant general.
The fact that Flynn didn't sign the pledge removes legal hurdles preventing him from foreign agent lobbying and advocacy work involving former administration colleagues.
Reports emerged earlier this month Flynn was being paid to lobby for Turkey while attending top-level intelligence briefings during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
